New Crowd Control Program for Football Games

“UC and Berkeley police working on the new joint program issued 76 citations after UC Berkeley’s Sept. 5 game against the University of Maryland. The citations were for offenses such as sexual battery, public drunkenness, open alcohol containers, urinating in public and being in a minor in possession of alcohol.”

“The athletics department will pay overtime costs for city police on the program. Police had not yet calculated the costs from the first game. Future participation by city police is contingent upon the school continuing to pay overtime costs for those officers, officials said.”
